Near Parndana, just off the Harriet Road is the Marron Cafe where you can dine on Andermel Marron (freshwater crayfish) and drink the local Two Wheeler Creek Wines.

“Marron is a boutique luxury food. They take around 2.5 to 3 years to be grown to cafe size and so are quite expensive to produce. However they are typically half the price of and often preferred to sea water lobster. Our chef offers delicious marron dishes for your enjoyment”.
